"The dash reflects the sun from the windshield and it causes this reflection so it sometimes becomes hard to see," he said.

Hobden isn't alone. Team 6 Investigators have received similar complaints from more than two dozen people in South Florida from Pompano Beach to Wellington.

Miami attorney Juan Bauta filed suit against Toyota this month in Miami Dade County. He's asking a judge to grant class action status so others can join the suit. The lawsuit claims the company is refusing to replace the dashboards once the basic warranty runs out.

"By the time you’re out of the extended warranty that’s right around the time your dash starts falling apart," said Hobden.

A spokesperson for Toyota, Pat Hill, would not talk on camera but said by phone, "We can't comment on litigation issues, we certainly are continuing to investigate these dashboard issues that are affecting multiple manufactures."

The company issued a service bulletin back in 2011 that addresses an issue that appears to be similar. It states some 2006 to 2008 model year IS 250 and 350 vehicles have a similar problem. The bulletin stated dealers can repair the panels if it's covered under the basic warranty which is usually four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
